The Young Sick Bacchus (Italian: Bacchino Malato) also known as the Sick Bacchus or the Self-Portrait as Bacchus is an early self-portrait by the Baroque artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio dated between 1593 and 1594. It now hangs in the Galleria Borghese in Rome. According to Caravaggio’s first biographer Giovanni Baglione it was a cabinet piece painted by the artist using a mirror.
